RTL support for podcast descriptions

[logaretm]

Hello, the podcast descriptions, when written in Arabic-majority text, are displayed in LTR direction, making the sentence harder to read or follow.

Assuming Spotify client uses the web version or a similar code, it can be easily fixed by adding a dir="auto" on the description element, it won't shift the description to the left or the right, it will just set the text direction to the majority of the text direction contained within it.

It's a 1-minute fix that would go a long way for the Arabic audience on the platform. I have added images to show how easy it is to fix and the current vs. desired outcome.

This issue is present in the listing and episode information pages on the desktop and web apps. The mobile app on iOS DOES NOT have this issue.

cheers.
